Artesa Winery of Napa, California has released their schedule of pick-up parties and events for the next few months. If you’ve never been to a pick-up party you should try it out. It’s a great way to meet fellow wine lovers, and get to know the people behind the label as well.

We had a great time at the Left Bank in Santana Row, San Jose at the last Artesa pick-up party, and Loni wrote about that if you’re interested in the scoop (Artesa’s Pick-up Party at Left Bank in Santana Row, San Jose).

Read on for the details: chocolate, football, skiing…
